Successful Back Surgery for Jalen Hood-Schifino . . .

[Eban]

Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Jalen Hood-Schifino underwent a successful lumbar microdiscectomy, the team announced on Thursday.
The procedure involved a bulging disk in his back being shaved and the Lakers expect Hood-Schifino to make a full recovery in the offseason, though the exact timetable is not yet known.

Whether Hood-Schifino will be back on the court before the playoffs is unclear, but Los Angeles will look to continue its late-season push without the added support from him on the bench.

Thx for the info. I had not heard this. I too hope the young man gets back to 100%. He beat Purdue!

He'd be in a boot in Bloomington with an unspecified body injury. I know.. HIPPA, but it was interesting to hear details. Hope he gets back to 100%

Not sure if he would have hurt his back in Bloomington, but this is why you go pro you’re a first rounder. Hope he recovers quick.

Great point. Get the money and then have the NBA team's doctors take care of you.

I thought he had hurt his back last year. I seem to remember him missing a game early with a back.

Or any B1G adhering to HIPPA.

Yep. I've had this argument many times, it's not HIPPA laws that prevent the release of details, it's IU's policy. Other outlets report some level of details of injuries, procedures and recovery that IU just refuses to do.

yes remember that too and when it happened, they said it happened to him in hs and just needed rest….it would flair up in him from time to time

Unless he hurt his back carrying the veterans luggage.
